I actually figured on posting much sooner than this - I'll explain later on.
We did receive our mission call in the mail on Thursday March 15th. It burned a hole in the table at our house all day long until the family finally gathered that evening for the unveiling. The first miracle happened when we finally got Jeff and Nicole on Skype using a laptop computer that has since died! Our call is to the WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE MISSION to be office specialists and work with the branches at the disgression of our mission president, President Jones. We are very excited and, I must admit, not really surprised, as we requested this mission and we were requested by them, also. You see, we love Wisconsin - it is our home away from home having been there 7 times in the past 6 years. They had openings for the very things we wanted to do, such as office work and working with leadership in branches. We REALLY wanted to stay in the states, speak English, and drive our own car. Also, it doesn't hurt to say that Jeff, Nicole, and Michael live 4 HOURS AWAY!!! We enter the MTC on May 28th, which is much later than we had anticipated but, as things turned out, it is a good thing! WE ARE EXCITED!!!
Two days later Wayne ended up getting sick. Come to find out he had a ruptured appendix (with no real normal symptoms) so he had emergency surgery on Monday, spent 5 days in the hospital, and was released and sent home with 5 days worth of antibiotics to take. He is doing very well, and we were extremely blessed that the rupture was "contained". We are already getting blessings from this mission call and we aren't even set apart yet.
We now have 7 1/2 weeks until we are out of here - lots to do before then - CAN'T WAIT!!!
